Q
What does Optic Nerve represent?
A
- The optic nerve are the axons of the ganglion cells of the retina.
13
Q
Course of Optic Nerve
- Decussation
A
(Fibres from the temporal half of The retina pass without crossing, while fibres from the nasal half of the retina decussate to the opposite side)
14
Q
Course of Optic Nerve
- Clinical Significance for Light Reflex
A
—-> The Lateral Geniculate Body
- (where the majority of fibres terminate and a small portion subserving the light reflex, bypass the geniculate body to reach the Edinger Westphal nucleus on both sides and pass to ciliary ganglia and from there a new set of fibres extend to the sphincter pupillae muscles).
